Question
a population of birds displays different colors, each of which is associated with its own trait. blue birds usually fly the fastest. red birds usually sing the most types of songs. green birds usually have the most offspring. black birds usually have the best vision. based on the principle of natural selection, predict which color bird is most likely to increase in frequency within the population?
black birds
red birds
green birds
blue birds
Natural selection favors traits that enhance reproductive success. Green birds have the most offspring, meaning their genes are more likely to be passed on. Over time, this trait (green color) will increase in the population as more green - colored offspring survive and reproduce.
